Ive picked up a lovely Minolta MD 24mm 2.8 (later version with the 49mm thread). Its in as new condition physically, but is let down by a rather stiff focusing ring. Ive removed the front filter mount and can see the helicoil but I cant figure out how to get to it to clean and re-grease. Im guessing that I need to remove the front element but cant see how, Does anyone have experience with stripping this lens down? _________________ http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnhorsfield/
